Skill Adaptation Perk

Anaraxes · 06-09-2010, 09:58 AM

If there are too many techniques, a style seems to me to lose its stylishness. There's nothing particularly distinguishable about it if anybody can do anything. Then, since no one will learn more than a few of the techniques in actual practice, two practitioners of the same mega-style might not have any techniques in common at all. One guy is off doing head locks and another guy is doing spin kicks to the head or something. They don't look like the same "style" of fighting at all. Certainly, it's most effective for the PCs if they have every option available and can get lots of extra perks, but the color seeps out of the mechanic.
